The  works  of  this  artist,  now  deceased,  are  of  great  value,  and 
but  rarely  offered  at  public  sale.  The  great  merit  of  this  picture 
may  be  appreciated  without  a  description.  He  died  in  1868.  This 
renowned  painter  formed,  in  conjunction  with  Eug.  Delacroix, 
Decamps,  Jules  Dupre,  Troyon,  Corot,  and  Diaz,  the  great  French 
/School.  All  the  noted  painters  of  our  time,  whether  French  or  of 
other  nationalities,  are  really  pupils  of  these  great  masters  ;  either 
by  having  directly  received  lessons  from  them,  or  from  having  un¬ 
consciously  profited  by  their  noble  works.  Rousseau  resided  almost 
through  his  whole  life  at  Barbizon,  near  Fontainebleau.

cent  PasteUes,  by  Mareciial,  are  acknowledged 
b  t  only  the  master-pieces  of  this  great  artist,  but  to 

b  execution  to  anything  ever  produced  in  this  re- 

n  Both  of  these  productions  are  already  of  world- 

\  the  Paris  and  London  Expositions  they  not  only 

c  r  the  author,  but  were  among  the  most  admired 

c  oncourse  of  artists  and  art  judges  from  all  parts  of 

t  the  attenrpts  of  many  noblemen  to  obtain  posses- 

s  the  property  of  Prince  Napoleon. 

In  his  representation  of  Columbus,  the  painter  has  selected  the  impor¬ 
tant  episode  in  the  life  of  that  great  man  when  he  is  being  conveyed 
in  chains  from  St.  Domingo  to  Spain.  The  story  may  be  thus  briefly 
told :  In  the  year  1500  Columbus,  who  had  been  acting  as  Governor  of 
the  Spanish  Colonies  in  America,  was  summarily  suspended  by  Don 
Francisco  de  Bobadilla,  who  had  been  sent  out  by  Ferdinand  and 
Isabella  to  investigate  the  affairs  of  the  Colonists.  Treachery  among 
the  officers  and  followers  of  Columbus  had  paved  the  way  for  his 
enemies  at  home,  who  lost  no  opportunity  of  injuring  him  in  the  esti¬ 
mation  of  the  two  Sovereigns ;  but  the  orders  given  to  Bobadilla  did  not 
by  any  means  contemplate  the  severe  measures  which  he  arrogantly 
enforced  immediately  on  his  arrival  at  St.  Domingo.  Instead  of  inves¬ 
tigating  the  causes  of  the  dissensions  which  existed  among  the 
Spaniards,  in  a  spirit  of  justice,  he  at  once  accepted  the  false  and  vin¬ 
dictive  statements  of  the  traitorous  officers,  being  determined  only  upon 
one  point:  the  speedy  downfall  of  Columbus.  The  latter  bore  the 
ignominy  which  had  so  unjustly  befallen  him  with  the  grand  repose 
and  dignity  which  so  marked  his  character,  and  submitted  patiently  to 
the  insults  which  were  heaped  upon  him,  and  which  he  felt  confident 
would  be  amply  atoned  for  when  he  should  have  the  opportunity  of 
explaining  his  course  to  their  Majesties,  face  to  face.  Washington 
Irving  thus  describes  the  interesting  incident  which  forms  the  subject 
of  Marshals  great  work  : 

“  The  Caravel  set  sail  early  in  October,  bearing  off  Columbus  shackled 
like  the  vilest  of  culprits,  amidst  the  scoffs  and  shouts  of  a  miscreant 
rabble,  who  took  a  brutal  joy  in  heaping  insults  on  his  venerable  head, 
and  sent  curses  after  him  from  the  shores  of  the  island  he  had  so  recently 
added  to  the  civilized  world.  Fortunately  the  voyage  was  favorable, 
and  of  but  moderate  duration,  and  was  rendered  less  disagreeable  by 
the  conduct  of  those  to  whom  he  was  given  in  custody.  The  worthy 
Villejo,  though  in  the  service  of  Fonseca  (Bishop  Fonseca,  the  enemy 
of  Columbus),  felt  deeply  moved  at  the  treatment  of  Columbus.  The 
master  of  the  Caravel,  Andreas  Martin,  was  equally  grieved.  They  both 
treated  the  Admiral  with  profound  respect  and  assiduous  attention. 
They  would  have  taken  off  his  irons,  but  to  this  he  would  not  consent. 
*  No,’  said  he,  proudly,  ‘  their  majesties  commanded  me  by  letter  to 


14 


submit  to  whatever  Bobadilla  should  order  in  their  name ;  by  their 
authority  he  has  put  upon  me  these  chains ;  I  will  wear  them  until  they 
shall  order  them  to  be  taken  off,  and  I  will  preserve  them  afterwards  as 
relics  and  memorials  of  the  reward  of  my  services.’  ‘  He  did  so,’ 
adds  his  son  Fernando  ;  1 1  saw  them  al  ways  hanging  in  his  cabinet,  and 
he  requested  that  when  he  died  they  might  be  buried  with  him.’  ” 


58  Galileo  in  his  Observatory. 

This  second  Pastelle  represents  the  great  Galileo  reclining  in  his  ob¬ 
servatory,  telescope  in  hand,  his  note-books  scattered  around  him,  as  he 
gazes  in  deep  thought  through  an  open  window  at  the  starry  firmament. 
Galileo  Galilei  was  born  at  Pisa,  February  15th,  1564.  Devoted  to  the 
study  of  mathematics  from  his  early  youth,  he  became  a  professor  of 
that  science  at  Pisa,  and  afterwards  at  Padua,  but  devoted  the  greater 
part  of  his  life  to  astronomical  studies  and  observations.  He  invented 
a  telescope  of  extraordinary  power,  and  was  the  first  who  applied  it  to 
the  study  of  the  Heavens,  by  means  of  which  he  made  many  wonderful 
discoveries — among  them  the  four  satellites  of  Jupiter.  Becoming  a 
convert  to  the  Copernican  system,  Galileo  strongly  advocated  the 
theory  of  the  earth’s  revolution,  in  opposition  to  the  accepted  opin¬ 
ions  of  the  Church.  For  this  he  was  twice  tried  by  the  Inquisition  for 
heresy,  condemned  to  recant  and  to  cease  his^  teachings  ;  but 

“  Man  convinced  against  his  will 
Is  of  the  same  opinion  still,” 

and  Galileo,  while  forcedly  recanting  his  opinion  of  the  earth’s  rota¬ 
tion,  to  save  his  life,  left  behind  him  his  immortal  protest:  “Epur 
muove” — “  Still  it  moves.”

A  rare  example  by  Belgium's  greatest  painter,  now  deceased. 
This  picture  is  believed  to  be  the  only  genuine-  work  by  the  late 
Baron  Leys  now  offered  for  sale  either  in  Bur  ope  or  this  country. 
In  the  competition  for  this  painting  connoisseurs  have  an  oppor¬ 
tunity  which  may  never  be  offered  again.  There  are  but  two  pic 
tures  by  Leys,  other  than  this,  now  owned  in  this  country,  one  is  in 
the  collection  of  Mr.  Belmont,  and  the  other  that  of  Mr.  Probasco, 
of  Cincinnati.
